You’ll need the “honeycomb” style rollers from Rust-Oleum which hold and release the paint. The Restore product is 10x thicker than paint so regular roller naps will not work. Tip: I also used a sturdy piece of cardboard to hold along the edges of our grass which is a much easier solution than trying to tape or cover that area. If you paint to fast the product can tend to “throw” from the roller so keep that in mind and go nice and slow but hopefully you’ll have properly taped the area before. Take time to tape off any areas that you don’t want to get paint on. Rain can’t be expected with 48 hours of application. Tip: The temperature should also be above 55 degrees for at least 3 days and nights to allow for proper application and drying times.

The most time-consuming part of the project was prepping the space as it needs to be free from any dirt or oil and given time to fully dry before applying the product.

I’d list this project as easy to intermediate. We selected Brownstone which provided a neutral tone so it wouldn’t clash with our exterior walls (pink) and red brick.

It’s a basic slab that’s stained from random coatings over the years and it’s also full of cracks both big and small. The only drawback to this space is the concrete surface. We love our indoor/outdoor living space and have created a comfortable patio that’s perfect for dining, entertaining or simply lounging around and watching our two-year old son throw stuff around (the best entertainment).
